Feature Request: Special ASCII Hot Keys for Text Fields

[GoogleCodeExporter]

On a PHP app I wrote, I have some PHP-generated text fields that can have
hot-keys associated with some special characters.

Clicking on the characters concatenates the value in the field with the
special ASCII character.

Examples of the special characters would be degrees, the plus/minus, etc.

I have this bit of code added for the settings.field_type = "text":

if( settings.hot_keys )
{
    use_field_type += "<br><table><tr><td>Speed Keys</td><td>";
    var hotkeysArray = settings.hot_keys.split(',');
    for( var i=0; i<hotkeysArray.length; i++ )
    {
        var hotkeysValuesArray = hotkeysArray[i].split(':');
        var use_value = hotkeysValuesArray[1] || hotkeysValuesArray[0];
        var thisChar = String.fromCharCode( use_value );
        use_field_type += '<b OnClick="">[' + thisChar + '] ';
    }
    use_field_type += "</td></tr></table>"; 
}

The only piece I'm missing now is the OnClick part.

Any further help on this would be greatly appreciated.  :)

Disregard - I think I got this working - a bit more testing and I'll supply the 
patch
along with the other one for the array selections.

I'll look at the patch in the other report, until then, closing this issue.
